Sacramento

Sacramento is the capital of California and the seat of Sacramento County. It is located in the north-central part of the state at the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers. The city was named after the Sacramento River, which forms its western border. Spanish cavalry officer Gabriel Moraga originally named the river.
